Krit, a 12-year-old student with disabilities, leads a female elephant at the Thai Elephant Research and Conservation Fund in Pak Chong district, Nakhon Ratchasima province, Thailand on May 25th 2016. The Elephant Education Program for Blind and Disabled Children was designed to help children with multiple disabilities adapt themselves better to society, through learning to manage their emotions and developing specific skills for their daily lives. As well as feeding the elephants the children can ride them, which improves their physical movement and balance. Currently the centre has two elephants, both of which were rescued.
